Go North East: 5442 / NK66EVB

Go North East's brand new Euro 6 Daimler-engined Wright Streetlite DF/Wright Streetlite Max Micro-Hybrid 5442 (NK66 EVB), which carries a midnight blue base livery, is pictured here on Saltmeadows Road, Gateshead, whilst on delivery to the company. 05/01/17

 

Representing an investment of approximately £1.7m and forming part of a £10m investment into new vehicles this financial year; Go North East has ordered ten Wright Streetlite Max Micro-Hybrid vehicles, which will be used to upgrade "Durham Diamond" services 16/16A (Castleside - Consett - Stanley - Durham), replacing the existing Mercedes Citaro allocation.

 

Manufactured by Wrightbus in Northern Ireland, this batch of vehicles feature the latest Euro 6 Micro-Hybrid engines with the cleanest vehicle emissions standards. Unlike previous examples in the fleet, they therefore feature a Wrightbus grille on the rear bonnet, providing additional air circulation.

 

Similar to all recent orders, these vehicles feature Esteban Civic V3 seating complete with e-leather; two-colour Tarabus 'Wood Effect' flooring; and blue accent lighting, which is fitted underneath seats, to provide extra light on the gangway.

 

They also feature free customer Wi-Fi, audio-visual Next Stop Announcement LED internal signs, and USB power sockets on the back of each seat to allow mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets to be charged 'on the go'.
